HTC and Sprint have announced the HTC EVO 4G, the smartphone previously known as the HTC Supersonic and the first ever WiMAX Android handset for the Sprint network. Borrowing plenty from the HTC HD2, the HTC EVO 4G packs a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 4.3-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen, HTC Sense UI and Android 2.1.

That’s not all: there’s an 8-megapixel main camera with autofocus and 720p HD video capture, together with a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls, as well as WiFi b/g and Bluetooth. With an adapter cable you can plug the HTC EVO 4G into an HDTV courtesy of an HDMI output, while onboard storage includes 1GB of memory and 512MB of RAM (plus a microSD card slot).
The 4G WiMAX connection can be shared using a MiFi style app, and Sprint are apparently working on enabling both CDMA and WiMAX at the same time so that you can browse the internet while on a voice call. When outside of a WiMAX area the phone falls back onto EVDO Rev.A.
No word on pricing or what sort of plans will be on offer, but Sprint reckon the HTC EVO 4G will go on sale this summer. We’re at CTIA Wireless this week, and will have hands-on photos and video with the HTC EVO 4G as soon as possible!
